What do you think of the conclusion to the Raccoon City/Umbrella storyline in RE3?

>All major questions? Answered
>All major plot points? Resolved
>Satisfactory Ending

[Anonymous No.10387647]

RE3 is good but in terms of story it doesn't really move anything aside from the city getting nuked. It's probably a good thing it was modest storywise though since RE2 was absolutely retarded

[Anonymous No.10387656]

Pretty solid, although games like Code Veronica and Dead Aim were good at illustrating the decline of Umbrella afterwards. The intro to RE4 makes more sense than people think, it doesn't feel as abrupt if you've played any post-RE3 game.

RE3 is 28 weeks later to RE2's 28 days later. Nowhere near as iconic and atmospheric, just a rehash on a bigger scale with bigger stakes. The whole city being nuked is retarded af.

[Anonymous No.10388273]

3's story is great, it's a sequel to both RE1 and RE2 at the same time and it's the Aliens to Alien that RE2 wasn't.

The franchise shat itself after 3 and anyone who still cared about "canon" after 3 has several screws loose.

I'll admit though, Carlos isn't that interesting. The sidekicks in 1 and 2 were far from interesting, aside for Sherry who can go in the sewers get vomited on by a horde of zombies for all I care, only pedos like her.

>no content compared to 2

This is how I know you only played/looked at the game on a surface level.
3 has as much content if not more than 2, it's just laid out differently. In 1 and 3 you can get alternate scenarios all happening depending on what the player does (or chosen semi randomly), like a real adventure game would. Instead RE2 has 4 static scenarios which are all 90% identical which makes it "look" like there is more when there isn't; and having the differences be triggered by player interactivity like in 1 and 3 will always be the superior option.

If you want to talk content, 3 has more backgrounds than 2. Also I haven't done the count but I'm pretty sure it has more enemy types (it definitely has more zombie types for one thing)and more weapon and ammo types too.

[Anonymous No.10389039]

Re3 also has more puzzles and they are better than the absolute braindead stuff of 2.
I like re2 but mostly because theres claire,the game is made for retards or young children.

I put off Code Veronica for YEARS since so many people trashed it, but I finally played it in 2018 on my PS2 and loved it since it still has that old-school RE vibe (maybe since it was developed for the Dreamcast in the very late 90s) but with a few "modern" twists (like dynamic camera movement, etc.) compared to the PS1 titles. I would say it is a much better game than Resident Evil Zero, at the very least.

It's not that retarded. Go look at a map of all the places that have been nuked. Tons of small towns and islands have been absolutely obliterated by ussr/USAilitary and just pushed under a rug. Really, if the us gov was involved with umbrella, it's business as usual.

Carlos was a million times better than rebecca, and slightly better than Ada. He is no Barry but he stands on his own as pretty great.
I do wish the other characters were more fleshed out though, you barely get anything for mikhail or any of the other UBCS guys when they were a really neat concept. That and the lack of Kendo hurt the story side of the game but the rest of it is solid enough.

I just finished playing RE3 last night. I must've beat this game dozens of times as a kid and last night I just discovered that you can change targets by tapping L1, same goes for RE2. Also, picrel has to be my favourite handgun in the entire series, too bad it doesn't use the enhanced handgun ammo.

I just dislike the direction the series took with anime action and ridiculous tentacle monsters, that's all.

Did you follow Birkin through the entirety of the game? We only see him mutate halfway through a battle (G3 to G4) and even that change is mostly in form, not mass. You're just being a pedantic little shit for being called a retard (which you are).

Do you know how much does a bodybuilder eat?
Even if he ate shit before he couldn't store all that muscle in his stomach as Birkin to grow an eye the size of his head on his shoulder. Not mentioning his his other transformations.
It's just stupid

Cells need food to grow and divide. Fast dividing cells need a ton. This is why fasting has shown some promise in slowing down cancer growth.

[Anonymous No.10397181]

>>10396771
Mass mutation is real, similar to spontaneous human combination. Sometimes the factors are ideal for unthinkable mutations. The g and t viruses create that variable in every cell.

[Anonymous No.10397198]

>>10395046
Body growth is controlled by DNA not how much food you eat.
Cancerous cells can replicate forever with oxygen and a bit of glutamine. Besides, things like elephantiasis exist, and a virus designed to do those things is possible.
